C4RFLESS BLASTING.

The number of accidents and the amount
of damage to property through careless past
ING in this city testify to the maintenance OF
"bow-not- to- do-itp method OF superntend-
encc which is anything but creditable to the
responsible parties. If one may judge from
the events. there is rarely any care taken to
prevent disaster in this kind OF work. ana IL
can only be concluded that familiarity Win
explosives and knowledge OF their power are
thought wholly unnecessary in the men who
are put in charge of the blasting In no othcr
way is it possible TO account for the many
destructive blasts which wreck houses and
strike down people in the vicinity sometimes
a block or two away from the scene OF the ex-
p!osion. The presumption is that contractors
allow almost any ignorant, thck-headed icnow
TO look after these matters. III, as so often
happens. he contrivcs to smash in the side Of
a house or two, destroy several hundred dol
lars' worth of furniture, or fracture somebody's
skull he is likely to run off as hard as he can
and hide himself; and then the contractor
undertakes some hard swearing to rid himself
Of the responsibility.
OF course this reckless blasting Is
criminal carelessncss, and somebody
ought to go to the pcnitchtlary
fer it at the first opportunity. Men who have
so little conscience and so little sense as to
endanger the lives and property of their
fellow citizens in so utterly incxeusab!e way
must be made to smart for their selfish
stupidity, and experience proves that tho
only way to protect the public against these
blasting outrages is to bring the law down
heavily upon the delinquents. AS to the
laborers who are commonly the direct agents
of the mischief, they know no better, and III
is not these, but their employers, who must bc
held accountable. 1t is perfectly obvious
proposition that no blasting in the immediate
vicinity of occupied dwellings should ever be
permitted unless the work is supervised by
qualified and experienced engineer. To put
such dangerous work in the hands of laborcIs,
as is apparently done often, is not less repre-
bensiblc than TO furnish infants with loaded
firearms to play with. a mean economy is
no doubt at the bottom Of the practice, but
that only makes the case worse for the con-
tractors, and since they evidently will not do
their duty voluntarily. they will have to be
compelled to do it. Already the matter has
attained the dimensions Of a serious abuse,
and it must be dealt with theoretically.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Four wears ago, when Governor Foraker
opened one of the hottest campaigns ever
known in Ohio, the Democrats had strong
hone of success which events afterward Justl-
fed They had prepared to manufacture, by
forgery and fraud, majorities to order In Cln-
cinnati. Columbus and some other places, ana
if hundreds of active Democratic politicians
are not now wearing striped uniforms in con-
sequence of the crimes they committed for
the party in that and subsequent years, it is
because they have been defended without
shame by members Of the party who claim to
| be good citizens But the Democrats relied
even more upon deception in the canvass than
| upon fraud in the returns They pulled the
wool over the eyes of wool-growers by pre-
| tending to favor higher duties they cheated
louor-dealers with the promise OF effective
aid: they persuaded men who think Civil
Service reform the one thing needful that
"the New Democracy was the very embodi-
meut of a Nations loftiest aspirations after
political purity and -partisanship.
Those who read the report OF Governor
Foraker's speech on Saturday, with which he
opened the campaign this year, were reminded
how fraudulent Democratic professions have
proved The party obtained power by false
rretences 1t did not raise the wool duties
it left the liquor dealers with less defence
against public sentiment than they had before,
and it has debauchcd and demoralzed the
public service to a degree not equallcd since
the DAYS of Pierce and Buchanan. That IL
has plundered the State Of Ohio and roDoed
the majority of voters in that State oil thcr
| rights by election frauds, as 1T has roODed inc
majority of voters in several Southern states
arc natural fruits of struggle for power
which began with false pretences. No one
s,mposes that the people of Ohio can be de-
ceived this year as they were in 1888. Inc
Democrats go through the motions without
hope of success, and the Republicans know
| that in over-confdcnce lies thcir only danger
| With full vote, Ohio would probably give
larger majority against Mr.. Cicvelands sham
reform than it has given since Coppcrheadism
was overwhelmed twcnty-four years ago Inc
use of the Federal service to dictate nominal
tions and platforms to the Democratic party
the employment of a swarm of officials IN
| Cincinnati to make convention nominate the
son of Federal officer, the pardon by Prcsi-
dent Cleveland of men convicted Of election
frauds the appointment of Jail birds, poitl-
ClanS IN the laSt degree uiSicputdDlci an" MN
whom the people had sent into retirement
all are remembered by voters when they arc
asked again to promote "reform" by support
ing The Democratic ticket.
But the practical question is whether Ohio
wants better government. If the State wants
more protective tariff, if it wants freedom
from election frauds if 1t wants honest gov
eminent at Columbus and at Washington, 1t
should make the Republican majority so large
that its meaning cannot be misunderstood.

talk with TRIBUNE correspondent, printed
on the second page Of this paper. One may not
agree with them all but it will be admitted'
we think, that General Berdan speaks lor
large class of veterans of rank and influence
as well as for thousands unknown 10 lanie
whose names are only on the lips OF those
who know and honor them in private HE.
General Berdan takes SO earnest an n'oio'1
in this matter that he has prepared h''ihocr
of bills which he thinks Congress can pass
and while being just to the taxpayers can DC
generous to disabled veterans too. 1t VIII DC
inferred from the letter referred to that zen
c,al Berdan considers the claims Of Old soldiers
sacred enough to be exempt from frivolous
;ests even in Presidential messages.

MONEY IND RUSINE.SS.

Wall Street had things fixed for n great
buying movement in stocks last week, but the
public sold. Large imports of gold from
Europe led many TO expect bank reserves TO
increase, but they declined 81 ,I60 700. Stocks
were expected TO advance, but they declined an
average of 81 25 share for the week, though
still closing 81 so above the prices of August
81. The rate for call loans gives no indica-
ton Of the money market for commercial
purposes, and "Thc Financial Chronicle" says ::
"Thc complaint is general among the mer-
chants that they cannot get the accommodation
from banks that they absolutely require"
This is in part because demands for legitimate
business arc large, but loans in the speculative
markets, loans connected with the building OF
new railways, loans based on real estate opera
tons and loans arising from manufacturing
Developments ut the South, have locked up
great deal Of capital. Though S2,SIO,OOO
gold arrived from Europe in week, and the
Treasury paid out 100000 more than it re-
ceivcd from all sources, still the bank reserves
declined.
The selling Of stocks was attributed to dis
appointment because expected results had not
followed the Baltimore and Ohio arrangement,
DuJ III was perhaps cHOubh thdt thc suuucn
climbing Of prices week ago tempted those
who YEARLY waited for rise and offered n
market on which TO sell. The monetary press
IRE, the refusal of the Secretary TO buy bonds
when the Treasury was in other ways paying
out more than it took in, and the failure OF
some firms Of consequence had their influence
also. Railroad earnings and traffic continue
large, notwithstanding the contraction in
movement Of crops resulting from low prices,
but the reported cutting OF rates in the North
west, and the stopping of railroad construc-
ton, except under contracts already made,
by the Northwestern, the Burlington and
Quincy and the Rock Island, arc not favorable
features.
II the iron business is q barometer Of gen
crai conditions the fact that the output OF
pig iron reached 1885, tons weekly Septcm-
Der /, the highest figure ever reported, against
1854 May 1, and LAG a year ago, may
well give encouragement. The surprisingly
large production, moreover, does not cause
any fall in the prices Of the best grades,
though other iron is somewhat weaker and
pressed for sale. Tho activity in bar, plate
and structural iron works creates large
demand, and the contracts already made

now take S36 for winter delivery
The Government crop reports are decldcdiy
nfavorabe, and yet the serious loss they dis-
close does not prove greater than was antici-
patcd. Indeed, the wheat report is rather
better than was expected, and indicates yield
of about 431 100000 bushels, nor would the
Bureau figures indicate yic.d below l'ooi'-
100000 bushels of corn. The heavy loss In
potatoes was expected, and the fact that tne
cotton crop would not largely exceed 7ooo'ooo
bales was indicated in July. But the Bureau
report showing an average cohui''oh
Of SO for cotton against S2.S
vcar ago. with an increase OF
only one per cent in acreage, forcshadows
scarcely more than the yield OF last year,
which the annual report of "The Flnanclal
Chronicle" makes 6,513,623 bales. Ihe
worst of the unfavorable crop news is that 10
threatens quick reaction in many regions where
real estate has been advancing wildly, and
some who have bought expecting to sell again
will find no buyers.
Bank exchanges show that the volume OF
business is larger than it was last year, though
the rate of increase is diminishing as COM
narison comes with the period of marked I'M
Drovemcnt in 1886. Foreign trade reports are
more favorable, exports for two weeks snow
ing an increase of 12 per cent, while I'M
ports show for those weeks a decrease OIL II
per cent But the money market now depends
much more upon the movement OF securities
than upon the movement of merchandise ana
meanwhile the demand for money to use at
the West and South is not smaller than usual,
as many expected. The large supplies oil goid
on the way from Europe, by some SAID 10 eA-
coed S5,OOO,OOO, will help to meet this de-
n,and. but its extent cannot be accurately
estimated, because it springs from real estate
and railroad operations, in addition TO INC
usual movement Of crops.

the system which prevailed before the present

happened to be present, which sustain the ac-
counts of the disturbance printed in TIE

interesting TO compare these stories with the
version of the affair to be given in the House

fled by the fact that Mr.. O'Bricn was arrested
